Chaser

I'm your bait on a rusty hook
You got me where you want me
What's my excuse now?
The kids are sick so I must stay home
But they were sick last week
Get over it
You never let me forget our past
The skin is soft but those teeth are sharp
And your bite always gives me scars

Drive faster
If you want to catch up to me
The anger screams 'cause I'm the one you can't have

You've got the ropes to tie me down
And a grudge to keep them tight
What's my excuse now?
Something came up and I must change plans
But I set up reservations
Get over it
I can't slow down 'cause you're closing in
You found out who I really am
And you wont let it go
Drive faster
